Chelsea Transfer News: Blues Push for Hugo Ekitike and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens Ahead of Club World Cup
Chelsea FC is making waves in the summer transfer market with a high-stakes pursuit of Hugo Ekitike and rising star Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. According to multiple sources, Chelsea has reached a verbal agreement with Ekitike’s camp, though negotiations remain tense with Eintracht Frankfurt, who are demanding a staggering £100 million release clause.
With the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 fast approaching, Chelsea is working under intense pressure to finalize the deal. The need for a top-tier left winger has intensified, and Ekitike has emerged as the club’s top target to boost their attacking options.
In parallel, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens of Borussia Dortmund is also on Chelsea’s radar. Despite some doubts about his consistency, the 19-year-old’s explosive pace and creative flair make him a strong candidate to fill the gap on the wing. Reports suggest that Chelsea is preparing an initial bid to bring the young English winger to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's Summer Transfer Targets:

Hugo Ekitike: Verbal agreement reached; Frankfurt holding out for £100M

Chelsea’s intent goes beyond just adding firepower. With the recent signing of Dario Essugo, the club is clearly focused on building a balanced and deep squad to compete in both domestic and international competitions.
However, the club faces financial hurdles. Chelsea’s board is reportedly aiming to strike a deal for Ekitike closer to €80 million with performance-based add-ons, balancing ambition with fiscal responsibility.
As the transfer window heats up, all eyes are on Stamford Bridge. Will Chelsea succeed in bringing both Ekitike and Bynoe-Gittens to West London in time for the Club World Cup?
